Christian Pulisic broke a five-month goal drought with his first international strike since November 2024, helping the United States secure a 3-2 victory over Senegal on Sunday in their penultimate World Cup warmup fixture.

The win gave the Americans a timely confidence boost as they fine-tune preparations ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, with Pulisic's long-awaited return to the scoresheet for club and country marking one of the standout moments of the match.

The United States held on despite a Senegal fightback that made for a tense finish, with the two-goal margin ultimately proving enough for the hosts.
